Subject: [seqfan] Re: b-file problems
Moritz, Thanks very much for the report, and for catching these errors!
I took another look at the first one you mentioned, b008360.txt, from V.
Librandi.
This had at least two lines with .99999999,,,, as you said.
I simply don't trust that file, so I deleted it from the server and also deleted the link from the entry. I also added a COMMENT line:
Needs a b-file.
I think the best thing to do is simply to created new b-files to replace the corrupted files, if people would like to help with that.
An exception would be if the b-file is really hard to recreate - in that case it would be better to repair the corrupted file. But let's hope most of them can simply be re-created.
Best regards
Neil
